Hi everyone,

I'm applying the capitalize modifier to a particular text variable,
which works as expected in most cases. What has recently come up is
that non-english characters are throwing a bit of a kink into my
plan. For example, Galápagos is coming out as GaláPagos with the
capitalize modifier.

I looked through the forums and didn't find any solutions that
worked, including using the setlocale() PHP function on my page...
All my Smarty template pages are set to charset=utf-8 in the headers,
and my mysql tables and text fields are utf8_general_ci.

So at this point I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I should do next.

Any ideas?


Thanks!
Cameron

The problem is that regexp expressions DON'T work correctly with UTF-8
strings. Wait until php6 to have it solved

write and use your own utf-8 aware modifier, like this one:

<?php

function smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize($string, $uc_digits = false)
{
return preg_replace_callback('!\b\w+\b!u', 'smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize_ucfirst', $string);
}

function smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize_ucfirst($string)
{
return mb_strtoupper(mb_substr($string[0], 0, 1)) . mb_substr($string[0], 1);
}

?>
